  Trevour: *He held his fingers out in a scratch-like manner, watching sand stream from his fingertips.* (Missed-)

  Tara: "So that's how you escaped!"

  Trevour: (That's right, I kept my Remenistal a secret, as I wasn't captain ranked.)

  --

  Luna: "..." *She walked along the cliff towards the clearing.*

  Karol: (I see the island-)

  Nathan: "Luna?"

  Luna: "Stop sayin' my name, it's fine, dickhead."

  Nathan: "..."

  Luna: "Aye?" *She paused, staring ahead with widening eyes.* "This power?"

  Destiny: "Yeup!" *She hissed in a worried-like manner, triggering flashbacks of Tara attempting to hurt her.*

  Luna: "This memory?" *She glanced at Destiny.* "Is it her?"

  Destiny: "Yeup!"

  Luna: "But, was she always this strong, or is it because I can feel Rostickal now?"

  Nathan: "What's wrong?"

  Luna: "I think the others are in trouble."

  Karol: "That means they finwished their missions?"

  Luna: "No.. They're in danger now?" *She spoke with slight confusion, as if she wasn't entirely sure.*

  Destiny: "Yeup." *She urgently meowed in agreement.*

  Nathan: (Dammit!-) *He sprinted past Luna and reached over his shoulder, placing his hand on the sword.*

  --

  Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION" *He focused on Rachael, causing light to glow in her healing wounds.*

  Rachael: *She stood on all fours, gritting her teeth at Tara.* (She's much stronger than the others-)

  Trevour: "Temperamental sands, crush! SAND HAMMER" *He jumped towards Tara and raised an enormous sand-hammer, slamming it directly on top of her.*

  Tara: "Fufufu!" *She slid back out of a forming sand cloud, firmly holding onto a red whip.*

  Trevour: (I missed-?)

  Tara: "You like Remenistal so much?" *She smirked evil-like, glancing at Rachael in the corner of her eye.* "Fine!"

  *A cluster of flames swirled in front of Tara, forming itself into a ball.*

  Tara: "Fufufu, FLAMING STORM" *She clicked her fingers, blasting an eruption of bright red flames towards Rachael.*

  Rachael: *She gasped with widening eyes, as her face lit up from the flames.* "C-Crud!-"

  Trevour: "DUST STORM" *He quickly slid on a stream of sand and punched upwards, causing a swirling wall of dirt to erupt in front of him.*

  *The fire hit the wall of dirt and exploded, blasting Trevour back off his feet.*

  Trevour: "O-Oof-" *He landed on his back.*

  Lezard: "Trevmeister! Quick internal light, INVOKING AURA" *He waved his hand across Trevour, causing a swirl of warm light to flash around his chest, healing his wounds.*

  Tara: *She suddenly flashstepped in front of Rachael and punched her in the face.* "Ha!"

  Rachael: "Urgh-" *She quickly grabbed onto Tara's arm with both hands and violently kicked her across the face.*

  Tara: *She angrily spat out blood to the side, glaring at Rachael with growing anger.* "Die!" *She flicked her wrist, causing her red whip to suddenly slither in the air and instantly jab into Rachael's stomach.*

  Rachael: "Urgh!-" *She screamed with a slight gargle.*

  Trevour: "Boss!"

  Lezard: "Razzypoo!"

  Rachael: "Damn you-"

  Tara: "Do you feel it? I'm going to siphon your Neurons until you die!" *An orange aura enveloped the whip and swirled downwards towards Rachael's stomach.*

  Rachael: (No! This is like that time with Synthoss!-)

  Trevour: *He struggled to get up and punched the ground.* "SWIRLING SANDPIT"

  Tara: *She watched her feet sink into the sand, causing her to chuckle.* "Foolish.. My ability renders this Remenistal useless!"

  Trevour: "P-Pardon?" *He sounded surprised.*

  Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION" *He focused on Rachael, causing light to glow in her wounds.*

  Rachael: "N-No-" *She watched the aura turn red around her stomach, before flowing back up the whip towards Tara's hand.*

  Tara: "Yumm." *She licked her lips.* "You have yummy Neurons!"

  Trevour: "Stop it!" *He shouted with an echoing voice, as a brown glyph zigzagged underneath him.* "Taste the power of crushing currents, devour the sacred sands, DIRTCLOUD TALONS"

  *Streams of sand scratched through the air and spiralled around Rachael, before closing in on Tara.*

  Tara: "Like I said-" *She violently ripped the whip out of Rachael's stomach and flicked it into the air, allowing her to swing off the ground.*

  *The sand streams connected and exploded where Tara stood, causing sand to spray over Rachael.*

  Tara: *She watched sand stream from her foot, causing her to smirk.* "Useless."

  Trevour: *He looked up with a frown.* (This isn't good. Rach and I haven't been able to connect any combos, it's like her speed has suddenly and drastically increased-)

  Tara: (I've experienced many battles.) *She hung off the whip like a vine, as it held onto the air itself.*

  Trevour: (That's right.. Her ability allows her whip to grab hold of any item, device, or person. There is nothing she can't reach-)

  Tara: (I admit, there are people naturally gifted at fighting, but my experience alone will trample-)

  *An arrow of lightning suddenly shot into Tara's arm, causing her to scream and let go of the whip.*

  Tara: "No!-" *She fell down and hit the ground, watching the whip slap the ground in front of her.*

  Luna: "Seraphic Volt."

  Tara: *She glared at Luna.* "You!"

  Luna: "'Sup?" *She spoke with a casual smirk.*

  Destiny: "Yeup!"

  Lezard: "Loonzamotto, Nathan, boss?" *He spoke with a growing smile, watching the three guild members run into the clearing.*

  Tara: *Her eye twitched in pain, as electricity sparked up and down her arm.* "How far have you grown, dirty lamp?"

  Rachael: "Give it up, it's six on one!" *She held her stomach in pain, causing blood to string through her fingers.*

  Nathan: *He sprinted towards Tara, holding the sword with one hand.* "Double Slash."

  Tara: "Long-range Lotus." *She kicked to the side and a fluoro blue wave hit Nathan in the chest, kicking him off his feet.*

  Nathan: "How-?" (An Azure Burst?!)

  Karol: "Nafan!"

  Lezard: "Jinkies." *He appeared flustered and focused on Nathan.* "HEALING IMPLOSION"

  Tara: "Found yourself some friends have we, thirty-three?"

  Trevour: "Not that it matters, ma'am, but it's twenty-three!" *He dropped to his knees and punched the ground with both fists.* "SWIRLING SANDPIT"

  Tara: "Fufufu, like I said-"

  Luna: *She flicked the string to her bow, shooting an arrow of wind at Tara's head.* "Windstream Shot."

  Karol: *He danced on an orange sigil-like glyph which appeared underneath Luna.* "Power Up."

  Luna: "Aye?" *She watched the arrow suddenly thicken three times its size and violently blast against Tara's face, pulsing away the surrounding sand and dirt.*

  Tara: "Fah!?" *She leant back and ignored an instant, growing bruise on her face, as her body continued to sink.* "Damn you, dirty lamps!"

  *Tara reached for her whip and watched a rock pillar erupt up, blasting it away from her.*

  Tara: "No!"

  Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *She smirked with a squinted eye, as if she was happy to move the whip out of Tara's reaching distance.*

  Nathan: *He stood up and raised the sword with killing intent.* "To get rid of our future problems."

  Lezard: (He's gathering a lot of Neurons into the blade.)

  Trevour: "Are you sure, sir?"

  Luna: "Oi, you fuckin' serious? This bitch tried to kill us several times, seriously."

  Trevour: *He glanced at Luna and looked back to Tara in agreement.* "You're right, madam."

  Karol: "Power Up." *He danced, causing a sigil-like glyph to appear underneath Nathan.*

  Tara: *She d
iscreetly gasped to herself.* (Even a weakling like him could hurt me if I'm trapped like this-) *She frowned and struggled, slowly lifting her feet out of the sand.*

  Trevour: *He applied more pressure on the ground.* "I can't-"

  Rachael: "No you don't! Dust Storm." *She punched downwards and then upwards, causing a small swirl of sand to spiral around Tara.*

  Tara: *She suddenly sunk to knee level.* "How-?"

  Nathan: "Azure burst, number twenty nine, Air Slash." *He slashed the sword downwards, slicing a visible air wave towards Tara.*

  Lezard: (We did it-?)

  *A buzz-like sound echoed in the distance and an explosion of sand burst around Tara as the air slash smashed into her.*

  Nathan: *He lowered the sword in accomplishment, watching the sand rain around where Tara stood.* "Let's focus back on-"

  ?????: "Fufufu."

  Lezard: *He gasped, staring at the falling sand in confusion.* "How is she still alive?!"

  Luna: "That sounded like a dude laughin', Lizard."

  Rachael: "Who's there?" *She stood up straight, placing one hand on her stomach.*

  Tara: *She looked up and frowned, staring at a man with amber-ish coloured hair.* "You."

  ?????: "Rite, bitches-" *He swayed to the side, blasting all the surrounding sand to the ground.*

  Nathan: *He unintentionally snarled at the man.* "Is that a girl or a guy?"

  Luna: "Dude.. I can't tell." *She squinted her eyes, trying to take a better look at the man.*

  Tara: "Blake, what are you doing here?"

  Blake: "Like, saving your sorry ass?" *He hissed on his breath and held a small green orb, catching Nathan's attention.*

  Nathan: "Is that-?"

  Luna: "Wat is it?" *She glanced at the orb and focused back to Nathan, as if she was expecting an explanation.*

  Nathan: "A Summonce Scarbra."

  Lezard: "Oh dear." *He spoke as if he didn't like the idea.*

  Rachael: "What's a Summonce Scarbra?"

  Nathan: "They are objects powerful Scoldrant Users or Summoners can use.. But to think someone like him can use them."

  Blake: "Fufufu, we finally meet heretics."

  Trevour: "Someone dressed like a Black Brigade member and can use summons.. This must be Blake."

  Blake: "Damn rite, bitches."

  Rachael: "Who is he?" *She spoke to Trevour without taking her eyes off him.*

  Trevour: "He's the leader of The Black Brigade.*

  Luna: "This guy is the leader?" *She hissed in disgust, as if she didn't believe it.*

  Blake: "Now-"

  Tara: *She awkwardly stood up.* "I don't need your help-"

  Blake: "Every party member has been hurt, it'll be like, totally unsexy of me to not do anyfing, aye."

  Tara: "You're.. A disgrace."

  Blake: *He discreetly glared at Tara and walked in front of her.* "Now, who dares to take down one of the top guilds?"

  Rachael: "Me!"

  Blake: "Oh? Then ya'll die-"

  Nathan: "And me!"

  Trevour: "Me too, sir."

  Luna: "Pssht, wateva." *She grunted in agreement.*

  Lezard: "Ooo, me too!" *He giggled, wiggling his bottom in excitement.*

  Karol: "Yheah! That's bekoarse, we're The Rostical Guild!" *He stamped his foot and pouted with determination.*

  Blake: "The Rostical Guild?" *He leant to one side and chuckled in disgust.* "Neva heard of yas, aye."

  Luna: "Oi, like I said before, this ain't an anime or show, let's just kick his ass!"

  Nathan: *He frowned in agreement and raised the sword.* "Air Slash."

  Blake: "Fufufu, Binding Vines." *He hissed with an echoing voice and watched green vines suddenly shoot out of the air behind him.*

  Rachael: *She watched a vine suddenly explode caused by Nathan's air slash.* "Those vines.. They're coming out from a Spacial Funnel behind him?" *She watched the air warp behind Blake in confusion.*

  Trevour: "Right you are, boss-"

  Blake: "Fufufu-" *He leant forward and suddenly flashstepped behind Nathan, exploding his shirt.*

  Nathan: "Argh-" *He glanced to the tear in his shirt, dropping to his knees in pain.*

  Luna: "Nath!-"

  Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION" *He focused on Nathan, watching light glow in his wounds.*

  Rachael: *She looked over her shoulder in shock.* (He's fast!-)

  Blake: *He suddenly flashstepped directly in front of Luna, readying to kick her across the face.* "Hiyah!-"

  Luna: "You move like a chick-, oof!-" *Blake kicked her across the face, blasting her onto the ground.*

  Karol: "Loona!" *He watched Luna slide on her side.*

  Tara: (How embarrassing.. How am I meant to become the leader if I can't handle foes that dirty lamp can?)

  Blake: "I'm like, the fastest out of the brigade-" *His image suddenly appeared directly in front of Rachael.*

  Rachael: *She quickly responded by forming fists.* "Speed isn't every-"

  Blake: "Hiyah!" *He suddenly slapped Rachael across the face.*

  Rachael: "You slapped?" *She held her cheek in shock, as if she wasn't expecting a slap.*

  Blake: "Fuh!" *He spun around in an elegant manner and slapped Rachael again, causing him to hiss in pain.* "Furgh!? That hurt!"

  Karol: "Sacred dance, Defence Up." *He danced on the spot, causing Rachael to smirk.*

  Rachael: "Thanks, Karol! Rock Pillar." *She kicked the ground, erupting a rock pillar into Blake's stomach, forcing him back several feet.*

  Trevour: "The aurora lights bend and swirl the gravel into liquid, turn to dust and sand, watch it vacuum your sins, SWIRLING SANDPIT"

  Blake: "Ground?" *He suddenly stopped sliding, causing him to look down.* "Aye?" *He hissed in disgust, noticing he sunk ankle deep in quicksand.* "Bitches!"

  Luna: "Windstream Shot." *She aimed for Blake's head and flicked the string, shooting an arrow made of wind towards him.*

  Blake: "Binding Vines." *More vines suddenly shot towards him, quickly pulling him out of the quicksand.* "Fufufu!"

  Karol: "Nafan! Sacred dance, Speed Up."

  Blake: *He landed on the ground and watched Karol dance in confusion.* "Aye?"

  Tara: (Behind you, dirty lamp.) *She purposely didn't speak out loud.*

  Nathan: *He slid into striking distance, slashing the sword across Blake's shoulder blades.* "Double Slash." *He spun around in the same motion and slashed downwards.*

  Blake: *He quickly flashstepped to the side and watched Nathan's sword hit the ground.* "Hiyah!" *He kicked Nathan in the face, causing his foot to crunch.*

  Karol: "Sacred dance, Defence Up." *He took deep breaths of exhaustion.* (I can't keep up the changes in dances to halp my guild out!)

  Blake: "Little shit-" *He hissed at Karol and jumped into the air towards Nathan.*

  Nathan: *He held the sword with both hands, causing an aura to swirl around it.* "The destructive arts number seventy four, Hard Blade."

  Blake: "Binding Vines." *He reached to the side and watched a vine wrap itself around his arm, pulling him to the right.*

  *Blake smirked, watching an aura made extension of Nathan's sword pierce through the air where he was.*

  Nathan: "Huh?" *He looked surprised by Blake's sudden manoeuvre.*

  Trevour: "Temperamental sands, crush!-" *He raised his hand, causing two streams of sand to swirl up his arm.*

  Lezard: *He started to sweat, as he struggled to focus on all the guild members.* (These old bones can't keep up with the healing!-) "Quick internal light, INVOKING AURA"

  Rachael: *A swirl of warm light flashed around her stomach, healing her wounds.* "Thanks, Lezard!"

  Trevour: *He watched the area become dark around him, as the sand expanded into a large hammer-like sculpture.* "SAND HAMMER"

  Rachael: *She stared at the sand-hammer, catching Trevour's attention.* "I have an idea, Trev!"

  Luna: "You girly, bitch!" *She shouted at Blake and flicked the string, shooting an a
rrow of wind towards Blake.*

  Blake: "Me a bitch? Like, wateva!" *He swayed to the side, causing vines to move in front of him, exploding upon impact with Luna's arrow.*

  Luna: (Missed the fuck!) *She grunted to herself in thought and pulled the string back again.*

  Destiny: "Yeup!" *She meowed in agreement.*

  Blake: "This guild is like, an annoying swarm of flies!" *He reached out and watched a yellow pearl-like orb materialise in his palm.*

  Nathan: (Another Summonce Scarbra?)

  Blake: "Wolfbanes." *Two husky-like Scoldrants pounced out of a spiralling yellow glyph.* "Sick the bitch." *He hissed at Luna, causing the two Scoldrants to charge towards her.*

  Luna: "Shit!

  Karol: "Loona! Sacred dance, Speed Up."

  Luna: *She looked down her body.* (I feel so much lighter-) *She lowered the bow and started to run at incredible speeds.* "Ahaha, kool!"

  Destiny: "Yeu, yeup!" *She struggled to stay on Luna's shoulder.*

  Trevour: *He glanced at his sand-hammer, nodding his head at Rachael.* "Go for it, boss!"

  Rachael: "Karol, I need some strengthening please!"

  Karol: *He quickly looked to his side at Rachael with flustered red cheeks.* "Oh-Ohkay!" *He squealed in exhaustion and changed his dance routine.*

  Blake: *He suddenly flashstepped directly in front of Karol.* "I'm not the bitch that likes to hit kids, but-"

  *Blake suddenly kicked Karol across the face and knocked him off his feet.*

  Karol: "Eeeek!" *He squealed in pain and swayed his arms.* "Defence Up." *He hit the ground and slid on his shoulder away from Blake.*

  Trevour: "L-Little meister?!" *He shouted with a stutter, as if he couldn't believe Blake would attack Karol.*

  Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION" *He watched light glow in Karol's wounds, causing them to rapidly heal.*

  *Lezard suddenly dropped to one knee, causing sweat to sprinkle off his face.*

  Tara: *She watched the party with no intentions of fighting.* (That kid and the freaky man are having a lot of trouble being supportive? Fufufu, if Blake fails, I'll kill you all myself!)

  Karol: *He squinted his eyes, as he struggled to stand back up.* "I kan.. I kan-"

  Nathan: "You can't! Only a man can fight this guy!"

  Luna: "So I got a dick now?" *She grunted and flicked the string, blasting one of the wolves' head off, causing it to burst away into white orbs.*

  Karol: (I kan't switch between dances like my daddy and mummy... If only there was a way to keep the aff.. Uffects of my dances while I use anutha one..)
